Perhaps I should read Ursula's bag theory myself, because I'm not quite following how it applies to Solarpunk or talking about climate from this.

I like everything I've read of Le Guin. Just finished reading her last one, Lavinia (Pre-Roman historical myth based on the Aeneid). The Dispossessed is great and you get a feel for an anarchist society. She also wrote a good translation of the Tao te Ching.

I tried to read the left hand of darkness and like I think she's great and I like her ideas but I found that book super tedious I just didn't care about all the lore and mumbo jumbo

Good read. Interesting take that the urge to "win" (or to end a problem) could include its own end, in a cruelly optimistic twist.

I liked the part about including more ahistorical/non-human actors.

Lots to chew on. Thanks for sharing
